KIRAN KRISHNAN
- Was just on the Monday show with Vinnie and Anna discussing leaky gut
- Esteemed microbiologist
- Check out his website at peakbiotics.com
- Great success in dietary supplement and nutrition markets
- Went to school at U of Iowa where he studied microbiology and
biochemistry
- Did Post-Grad in Iowa as well studying microbiology with focus
on clinical microbio
- Focuses on human diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.
- Pathogenesis of disease
- Probiotics
- Did Post-Grad in Iowa as well studying microbiology with focus
on clinical microbio
- After university he started his own research organization
- Wanted to offer companies an affordable way of doing high-clinical trial
- Did that for a decade, still does that as well as other work
- He is Indian, moved to America right before highschool; his name is pronounced KEER-in
ADDICTION
- Addiction works like everything else
- Vinnie found he even got addicted to face cream

- He stopped the face cream and his skin started oiling itself and his lips were more supple without the lip goop
- Our habits and addictions are recent
- We have been evolving for millions of years
- The addictions and weird habits we have have developed over the past 100 years
- Our bodies still exist how they did forever ago, but by doing
modern day habitual things that we do, we are putting stress on our
bodies
- Ex: bathing!
DEODORANT
- Deodorant is a new thing
- You are putting aluminum under your arms -- found to be harmful to the human body
- Regardless of how much deodorant you use, if you sweat you will still probably smell at the end of the day
- Crystal is definitely better than standard aluminum-based deodorant
- The type of aluminum used in crystals is not as harmful to your circulatory and lymphatic systems
- Dr. Krishnan uses Schmidt's
- It is essential oils and sage and such
- He has some in a pot and only has to apply every few days because it works so well
- Anti-oxidative properties in this are good
- Essential oils keep bacterial load down without killing off the bacteria
SWEATING
- Sweating is great for your body
- Sitting in an infrared sauna is good to dilate vessels, drain
out toxins, get the liquids in your body moving
- It is a type of cleanse!
- Sweating is good to control good bacteria!
GUT HEALTH
- Over half of antibiotics prescribed are unnecessary
- They are either not needed or won't work on that type of bacteria
- One cycle of certain antibiotics can cause your gut to be harmed for a year
- One dose of augmentin wipes down your gut bacteria levels by
almost 90%
- Takes a week and a half or two to get back just from that one
dose
- However, the portions of bacteria that comes back are different
- More robust species that are anti-biotic resistant have an easier time coming back when this happens
- However, the portions of bacteria that comes back are different
- Takes a week and a half or two to get back just from that one
dose
- Use of antibiotics when young also contributes to asthma and allergies
- The use of antibiotics under 4 has a profound effect in creating auto immune disorders
